This was really helpful to watch as I was making the newest paper rose pattern. I am a beginner and there weren’t quite enough details in the PDF for the garden rose. After watching this, my next few roses came out so much nicer.

Absolutely love this rose! Am presently creating an arrangement as a gift bouquet for 2 actor friends for their upcoming opening night. I will include some of these roses within the arrangement (along with some peonies and parrot tulips already made). I think they will love it. Thanks so much for the detailed and beautiful tutorial. I absolutely love scouring your site and finding all the fabulous new projects to work on.

WOW! I’m so excited to finally handcraft your Roses. I created five burganey Roses, three large, one mediun, and a bud. I’ll need to invest in more Crepe Paper this coming month to create more of them. Lia, I really appreciate your expertize to help me create your beautiful flowers. Tim

  I have the same issue. It says 3/4 steps completed. I have gone back through the class steps 3 times and have even downloaded everything but no change. I only have 3 steps listed under course content so I am not sure where the 4th step would be. I like to see the completed on a course so I know there is nothing else in the course to do. Thank you!

I love the double sided paper but have a lot of heavy crepe paper can I use heavy crepe paper in some of the double sided makes?

Reply

  @Jeanette Hallam
  
  You certainly can use it, but it will not look as refined as the double-sided. The heavy crepe is perfect for peonies, sunflowers, and larger petaled flowers.

I would also go with the calla lily — it’s been my fav since you did the member make that used ModPodge. Although, it might be that the two flowers would “compete” for attention, since both are feature type flowers. Something more “filler” and less attention-grabbing might work better — maybe something vine-y? Of course, I also love tulips. Obviously, I can’t decide!

Reply
1. Lia Griffith April 7, 2021 at 1:41pm
  
  @Sally Albrecht
  
  Since they are a different shape and the call is not a multi-petal, I think they would work well together. A tulip would also be lovely. AND. . . I love something hanging.

    @Lia Griffith
    
    So I can see this — white roses and calla lilies — whatever color the bride would choose (why am I thinking bridal bouquet?) add in lightly with Pan Pastel at the base of the rose petals and down the throat of the calla lily.
    But your florist background is coming out — saying that since a rose and calla are different shapes and the calla is not a multi-petal they would work together — and I would not have known that about arrangements. So when is the Master class on flower arranging, so we can learn from the master???

I so wish I had known about Crepe Paper Flowers when I got married 11 years ago. Would definitely have made my bouquet instead of using real roses. If you do a bridal bouquet I see myself trying to replicate mine. Patterns for all the roses and leaves have been cut out. Now on to assembling. Think I will start with the leaves and then move on to the actual Roses and Buds. The tutorial was amazing. For those new cutting your crepe paper with the maker. I used Crepe Paper Setting for the Fine paper and used Denim Fabric setting for the Doublesided. Rotary Blade of course. My machine cut all petals and leaves without having to make any further adjustments but want to add a quick Disclaimer: All machines are not the same so please check your cuts before loading each mat to make sure you don’t need to make adjustments. Happy Cutting and Assembly.
